Thomas de LORME
La muse nouvelle, ou les agréables divertissements du parnasse
Chez Benoist Coral|à Lyon 1665|14.50 x 9 cm|relié
Very rare first edition, absent from French and English catalogues, and from the Hollis catalogue of Harvard library. Complete with the portrait and frontispiece which are often lacking.
20th-century binding using a 19th-century manuscript vellum, smooth spine with red morocco title label. Dampstaining throughout the work. The frontispiece and portrait have been laid down.
It is undoubtedly, according to the exchange of verses at the beginning of the volume, when quite young that Thomas de Lorme, sieur de Bordes, from Dauphiné and native of la côte Saint André, lawyer at parliament, wrote this collection of rondeaux, epitaphs... At the end of the work, judgments on writers, poets, men of letters. See Rochas I, 307.
